President Barack Obama wipes perspiration from his face as he speaks about climate change, Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at Georgetown University in Washington. Obama unveiled sweeping steps during the speech to help reduce global warming but experts testified before a Senate committee last week that global warming is not accelerating as Obama described.

Boxer, D-California, is the chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works that convened the climate change meeting.

According to the Forbes story, two Republican senators at the hearing, including Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Mobile, asked the panel of experts if they agreed with Obama's assertion that global warming has accelerated over the past 10 years.

On both occasions, Forbes reported, there was no response from the panel.
